"Employers consistently say that they prefer to recruit graduates who have had real experience of the workin world.  Every kind of work experience adds value - part-time, vacation work, internships, placements - and I would encourage students to gain as much experience as they can providing it does not interfere with their studies.  The key to getting the most out of student employment is to reflect on what has been learnt and to capture it in a way that enables you to demonstrate what you have gained when applying for a post."  Carl Gilleard, Chief Executive, AGR (Association of Graduate Recruiters)

"With increasing numbers of students coming on to the job market it is evermore important that you have something to make yourself stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs.  Work Experience is the most obviousdifferentiator between you and the next person.  It gives you something to talk about at interview and shows that you have practised some of the tranferablw skills necessary in the workplace...Employers can obsere you in the work setting and offer places on their graduate schemes or full time positions when you finish university."  Heather Collier, Manager, National Council for Work Experience
